I vote Laurel too, but I have bad speakers and bad hearing.

And I only heard Laurel. You must be a young pup according to the article.

I actually managed to hear laurel but only once and it was freaky. I don't know the proper term for this but I "flexed my ears" so I could hear background white noise (probably just a blood flow thing). I heard it once then it went back to yanny. That shit is spooky.

That's kinda surprising actually. With all the rounds I've heard fired I figured my hearing might be more fucked than I realize.
